Bass Pro Shops Santa Land

Santa Land at Bass Pro Shops

This is one of our all time favorites and we make sure to find time to do it every year. We went this weekend and it really is a fabulous day out. They have a whole section of the store remade into Santa Land.

The Big Red Guy is there (real beard of course) to pose for a free picture. He is really good and spends a good amount of time with each child. They manage to keep the line moving pretty well and when they get busy they hand out tickets with times on them to shorten your line waiting time. You can buy picture packages if you want, or just take the free one.

Santa Land at Bass Pro Shops

There are craft table set up for the kids to make Christmas Tree Ornaments or make coloring pages. They also have suction cup cross bow games, rifles for the kids to shoot, toy trains and cars. All of these are hands on for the kids to play with. Not to mention the giant fish tanks in the front of the store. Santa's Elves are hanging out at all the games to help the kids out.

Mrs. Claus Santa Land at Bass Pro Shops

Don't forget to say hello to Mrs. Claus. She is usually hanging out not far from Santa's Chair. She is an absolute gem! She will chat sweetly with the kids and is absolutely perfect! I think my daughter liked her as much as she did Santa!

We usually pick up hot dogs outside the store for $2 a piece and soda's for a $1. It is really easy to spend a few hours there and has become one of our must do Christmas Traditions!

We have not done it yet, but if your kids like the train, the Bass Pro Shop in Dania, Fl is right next to the Tri-Rail Station. We plan on parking at our local Tri-Rail Station and taking the Train to see Santa! What an adventure that will be!

Call your local store to check thier Santa Land Hours. Remember weekdays are less busy, and weekends get more and more busy the closer to Christmas weekend you get.
